3 EMI Data Dictionary Version EMI Overview and ummary The EMI data dictionary was developed through a collaborative effort with the EM industry including: web-based reviews, public comment periods, focus groups, industry dialogue, topic focused projects, and consensus. The ational EM Information ystem Version 3 represents a major revision from version 2 released in Adopting a broad perspective, the initiative to move to a 3rd version of the EMI data dictionary was fueled by the need to improve data quality, enhance our ability to assess EM performance, augment the flexibility of the standard for state adoption and, to move the EMI standard into the Health Level 7 (HL7) organization for approval as an American ational tandards Institute (AI) standard. EMI Version 3 Element Configuration from v2.2.1 EMI Version 3 Element Configuration Total Elements including the Custom Elements: 585 Excluding the Demographic and EM (epc) Custom Elements: 561 EMI Version Data Dictionary Content **ote: The numbers to the right of the content listed below represent the location for each element on the ample Page of the Data Dictionary (page vi). Data Element umber (#1) The EMI Version 3 element numbering system has been revised to improve the information that can be derived from just the data element number. An example of a data element number is dagency.01. The data element number begins with either a "d" representing the demographic (agency) section or an "e" representing the EM PC section. A one word descriptor for each section is now included in the data element number. Published: 07/13/ Page i
4 A period separates the section (e.g. dagency) from the data element number (e.g. 01). Data Element ame (#3) The name for the data element. ational and tate Element Indicator (#2, #5, #6) ational = Yes, is an indication that the data element is required to be collected: at the local EM agency level and submitted to the state tate = Yes, is an indication that the data element is recommended to be collected at the "tate" level. Data Element (#4) The definition for the data element. Version 2 umber (#7) The EMI Version Data Element umber. If the Data Element is new to Version 3.4.0, the Version 2 umber will be blank. Data tructure Information ecurrence (#12) Indication that the data element can have more than one value. epresented by two characters separated by a colon. The configuration includes: 0:1 = element is not required and can occur only once 0:M = element is not required and can repeat multiple times 1:1 = element is required and can occur only once 1:M = element is required and can repeat multiple times Usage (#8) Indication of when the data element is expected to be collected. Mandatory = Must be completed and does not allow for OT values equired = Must be completed and allows OT values ecommended = Does not need to be completed and allows OT values Optional = Does not need to be completed and does not allow for OT values OT Value Characteristics (#10) Indication that the data element can have OT values. OT Values are used (where permitted) to document that a data element was not applicable to the EM response / request for service, was not or could not be completed. OT Values are documented as "an attribute" of an element. It allows the documentation of OT value when a "real" value is not documented. (Please reference the EMI White Paper describing the use of OT Values, Pertinent egatives, and ill.) OT Values Accepted (#14) Indication of which of the following three OT values is acceptable. ot all data elements accept OT values. OT Values have been condensed in Version 3. ot Applicable = The data element is not applicable or pertinent to the EM event. ot ecorded = The data element is considered applicable to the EM event, but was left blank. The EM software should auto-populate it with Published: 07/13/ Page ii
5 "ot ecorded". ot eporting = The data element is not collected by the EM agency or state. This OT value does not apply to ational elements where "Usage = equired". Pertinent egative Values (P) (#9, #14) A list of Pertinent egative Values which can be associated with a data element. ot all data elements accept Pertinent egative Values. Pertinent egative Values are documented as "an attribute" of an element. It allows the documentation of pertinent negative value in addition to the documentation of a "real" value. (Please reference the EMI White Paper describing the use of OT Values, Pertinent egatives, and ill.) Example of use: Example #1 - Aspirin Administration: If the medication Aspirin is part of the agency protocol for Chest Pain but was not administered by the responding crew, the reason why should be documented. This is done through the use of Pertinent egative Values. If the patient took the Aspirin prior to the EM arrival on scene, the value "Medication Already Taken" should be documented in addition to "Aspirin". Is illable (#11) Indication that the element can accept a "blank" value. If the element is left "blank" the software must submit an appropriate value of one of the two attributes: Pertinent egative or OT Values. (#13) Indication that the data element has value in describing, defining, or measuring EM from a performance perspective. Performance Measures can be associated with EM service delivery, patient care, or both. The following service delivery or time dependent illness/injury performance measure topics have been included in EMI Version 3: Airway - Airway Management Cardiac Arrest - Out of Hospital Cardiac Arrest Pediatric - Acute Pediatric Care esponse - EM esponse Time TEMI - T Elevation Myocardial Infarction (TEMI) troke - Acute troke Care Trauma - Acute Injury/Trauma Care (#14) An attribute provides extra information within an element. For information related to the first three attributes please see the EMI document 'How to Utilize EMI V3 "OT values/pertinent negatives/nillable"'. The following are possible attributes: P (Pertinent egative) Contraindication oted Denied By Order Exam Finding ot Present Medication Allergy Medication Already Taken o Known Drug Allergy one eported ot Performed by EM efused Published: 07/13/ Page iii

7 TIMETAMP Data Type = DateTime minvalue = T00:00:00-00:00 maxvalue = T00:00:00-00:00 VelocityUnit Kilometers per Hour Miles per Hour Code List (#16) A list of values associated with the data element. ot all data elements have predefined value sets. Codes for each value: The codes are based on a 7-digit number, in a pattern (without dashes). The first set of two numbers represent the data section The second set of two numbers represent the element number The last set is a 3-digit number for each value beginning at 001; The codes increase in increments of two (2). Codes are typically sequential (by two) and alphabetical. ome ordering is provided in an effort to present information based on workflow. everal values and codes reference external standards such as ICD-10, xorm, OMED, etc. EMI will assist in providing a recommended list of EM specific values and codes from these larger standards for most elements using these external standards. Data Element Editorial Comments (#17) Comments are provided to describe additions, changes, clarifications, or provide additional insight into the data element. Version 3 Changes Implemented (#18) Comments providing insight into specific Version 3 changes such as new or revised data elements. Element Deprecated(#19) Elements that are signified as "deprecated" will be removed from a future version of the EMI standard. Their use should now be avoided, but will be supported until they are removed from the standard. EMI Version Change ummary EMI Version 3 includes several new types of information to better describe EM from an industry, workforce, EM service delivery, and patient care perspective. Examples of new Version 3 content include: Demographic (Agency) Content EM Agencies can list more than one state in which they offer EM service delivery. EM Agencies can indicate multiple Agency numbers. Multiple EM Agency contacts can now be managed within the Demographic ection. EM Agency Location and GI information has been enhanced. EM Professional and Workforce information has been enhanced. EM (PC) Content Published: 07/13/ Page v
8 EM Crew level information has been enhanced cene location information has been enhanced to improve geo-coding and location analysis. Provider Impression (diagnosis), ymptoms, Cause of Injury, Medical/urgical History, and Incident Location are now based on ICD-10. Procedures are now based on OMED. Medications are now stored using the xorm standard Cardiac Arrest information has been enhanced to add focus on CP and post arrest cooling. Automated Collision otification information has been included. The data elements required to document and evaluate the CDC Field Triage Algorithm for trauma have been included. Vital ign and patient monitoring information have been enhanced A new section for Laboratory and Diagnostic Imaging results has been added. The Exam section has been reconfigured to improve documentation and ease of use. Much of the medical device information has been mapped into the vital sign section for direct import via the XML standard. Inclusion of electronic signatures and external electronic documents. An Airway section has been added to better document and evaluate airway management. Improved Work elated Illness and Injury documentation capability. Disposition information has been enhanced especially associated with pecialty Centers and time dependent illness/injury ystems of Care. EM esponse and Transport Modes have been enhanced to better define emergent, non-emergent, scheduled, and non-scheduled variation. Additional EM esponse and Transport Mode Descriptors have been added to allow for documentation of Lights and irens Use and Intersection avigation tools. The Payment/Billing section has been greatly expanded to meet current electronic billing requirements. Outcome information has been expanded to include additional Emergency Department and Hospital Outcome information (often obtained through linkage). General Improvements Version 3 content has focused on objective performance measures to better describe and evaluate EM service delivery and patient care. tate level configuration and customized data elements have been enhanced without changing the EMI Version 3 tandard.
